[Numpy-discussion] ANN: Numpy 1.10.0b1 release

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

give this release a whirl and report any problems either on the
numpy-discussion list or by opening an issue on github.
I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of Numpy 1.10.0. There is
over a year's worth of enhancements and bug fixes in the 1.10.0 release, so
please give this release a whirl and report any problems either on the
numpy-discussion list or by opening an issue on github. Tarballs,
installers, and release notes may be found in the usual place at Sourceforge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.10.0b1/>.

Maybe this is just me, I tried to build the tarball I got from sourceforge
in a fresh virtualenv on my mac and received the following error:

clang: numpy/core/src/multiarray/buffer.c
clang: src/multiarray/cblasfuncs.c
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'src/multiarray/cblasfuncs.c'
clang: error: no input files
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'src/multiarray/cblasfuncs.c'
clang: error: no input files

Indeed, that file is not present in the tarball. My download of the tarball
from sourceforge has sha1 hash 424bcee49507a655260068e767bd198094fc5604.

It looks like the tarball from github (
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/archive/v1.10.0b1.tar.gz) has the needed
file.

I'm uploading replacements for the tar and zip files.. Not sure why
numpy-vendor didn't do the job.

if so then please upload a b2, so it will avoid confusion with those
who have downloaded a b1-pre-fix and those with a b1-post-fix

I think it was caught early enough that it won't be much of a problem. I
expect there will be other problems that will require a beta 2 soon enough
;)

we can agree to disagree, but nevermind :) I gave it a quick build
test on debian unstable amd64 and it's building correctly, I will
finalize the package in the next few days and upload to the various
weird architectures Debian supports and see where it fails.

Given how quickly this surprised someone, it looks like it would be
helpful to have some single link we could give people to explain
what's going on here. Do we have such a thing? In a few minutes of
searching all I was able to find was

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/release.html#npy-relaxed-strides-checking
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/release/1.10.0-notes.rst#relaxed-stride-checking

which together kinda sorta hint at what's going on if you squint, but
not really? Maybe we should add a paragraph to the 1.10 release notes?

True, frankly, after I hit send I thought I should have explained more
in any case.
I think relaxed strides is explained (though 1.10 could possible
link/include more). The issue is that I/we forgot to mention the "funny"
stride messing up to expose bugs/help debugging....

So in case someone wonders. When relaxed strides is active, we
intentionally give this funny stride that Jens saw (we will not do this
in a final release) because failure to work correctly with it hints to
general bugs and tests are likely to miss without this "help". Of course
some software that is totally fine might still stumble on these strides,
though I expect making it work fine with them should not be hard and
make it more robust in any case.

Probaby, or we could make the failing bit, if we can find it, gcc version
dependent. gcc 4.2 is eight years old, which OS X versions depend on it?
